Grilled Seafood

Grilled Seafood

If you’re looking for something different to grill, try fish
and seafood. Fish and seafood are an excellent source of
lean protein, and grilling fish is an easy way to get dinner on the table fast.
Plus some types of fish, such as salmon, are good sources of omega-3 fats,
which are good for your heart. Here are some tips to get you started.

1.Ensure the grill is clean before igniting it and
lightly brush with oil or nonstick cooking spray to prevent seafood from
sticking.

2.Soak the fish or seafood for about 2 hours in
the marinade of your choice to pack in more flavors. Before grilling, drain off
any excess marinade and pat the seafood dry. Basting can occur while grilling,
but be sure to set aside marinade the seafood was not soaking in to avoid
contamination with bacteria.

3.If you don’t want to use a marinade, brush it
with a light coating of butter or olive oil and add seasonings of your choice
i.e. black pepper, kosher salt, lime juice, garlic and thyme are some great
choices.

4.Put the fish or seafood on hot grill. Cook the fish
or seafood until it is about 60% done (about 3 minutes for ½ inch thick, 5 minutes
for 1 inch thick) then flip with a spatula; fish/seafood cooks fairly quickly
so be sure to keep an eye on it.

5.Cook
for an additional 2-5 minutes and remove from grill. Fish is fully cooked when
it begins to flake and is opaque at the center. Some fish, like tuna is often
served slightly ‘rare’ like a steak.
